Scenes of Clerical Life

by George Eliot

Scenes of Clerical Life is a collection of three novellas by George Eliot, published in 1858. Set in rural England during the Victorian era, the stories delve into the lives of country clergymen and their interactions with the communities they serve. Eliot explores themes of faith, morality, and human relationships with a keen eye for psychological realism. The novellas offer glimpses into the complexities of human nature, the challenges of living a virtuous life, and the impact of social expectations on individuals. Eliot's keen observations of rural life and her nuanced portrayal of the characters' inner struggles make these stories both engaging and thought-provoking.
